Her Home

I never considered the sacrifices necessary with moving so far away. I didn't realize that one day my daughter would have her own life and running back home for every occasion would force her to miss those special moments with the framily (friends that are family) that she loves here or important events during the year. I started this year understanding that I wouldn't be going home, it's her senior year and I realize it's special, but that was before I started the divorce from hell; the long goodbye the first Thanksgiving with the empty seat and now I selfishly wish family was near. I have to be happy with our small circle, 700 miles away was my choice and now she's almost grown and this is her home.
